George Thurkettle Brown

[Keziah2]

I am fairly certain George (592495, 1st/18th Bn., London Regiment (London Irish Rifles).
Died on 26 March 1918) was the son of John & Eliza Ann Brown who lived in the nearby town of Eye according to the 1901CR George was born in Yaxley.  The anomaly I have is that he is mentioned on the Roll of Honour in the Memorial Hall but not on either of the two Rolls of Honour that hang in Mellis Church. 

Trying to ascertain whether his parents had moved to Mellis after 1901 or indeed he had been living/working there before enlisting. Do his military records give any clues?

Many thanks

Some of this information is duplicating an earlier thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=799369

On this one Keziah2 is more interested in where the parents were living after 1901.

Thanks both

Yes I was fairly certain I had the right parents I was just trying to confirm the link with Mellis as he is not mentioned at all in the church, which seems strange. Rosie does however say the family did live here after 1901.
